Setting the scene

We will look at practical skills and tools to help you navigate some of the pathways you might be considering or give you the tools to use when you get there. This is a combination of life skills and knowledge relaying.
Warning: this module includes curse words like “CV”, “interviewing” ,“rejection”. Do not fear, we will not be calling on any of the things you know about these topics already and instead, will discuss things you can actually use.
